Tonight’s sunset was beautiful pastels that made me think of Easter…and how it’s almost upon us.
Which is reflected in the increased flurry of activity as preparations for our Good Friday Oratorio performance kick into high gear.
A pastel sky
Blown away yet again…
I’ve written before about the vocal group Famiglia Sala (the Sala Family); we do our best to attend their concerts whenever we visit Switzerland and Italy.
They always blow us away when we hear them live, but I didn’t really expect to feel so moved listening to them online. Especially since they were performing — as is everyone these days! — from separate locations. This Stabat Mater event was broadcast on Swiss television for Good Friday, but we finally watched the video tonight. It’s a deeply devotional presentation, and — sure enough — the Famiglia Sala blew me away yet again.
From the event description:
Together they overcame the limitations and difficulties of this period to leave a profound testimony of a moment destined to remain in history. The result has great emotional impact that aims to allow people who cannot participate at religious services during this period, to still have a moment of reflection through music and reading.
It truly did have great emotional impact and the singing was simply out of this world gorgeous. Bravissima, Famiglia Sala!
